6th International Conference on Database Theory

Delphi, Greece, January 8-10, 1997

ICDT '97 will take place in Delphi, Greece, on January 8-10, 1997. ICDT is a
biannual international conference on theoretical aspects of databases and a
forum for communicating research advances on the principles of database
systems. Previous ICDT conferences were held in Rome (1986), Bruges (1988),
Paris (1990), Berlin (1992), and Prague (1995). Since 1992, ICDT has been
merged with the Symposium on Mathematical Fundamentals of Database Systems
(MFDBS), another series of conferences on theoretical aspects of database
systems that was initiated in Dresden (1987), and continued in Visegrad (1989)
and Rostock (1991).

Topics:
ICDT aims to attract papers of high quality, describing original ideas and new
results on theoretical aspects of all forms of databases. Major themes to be
covered include, but are not limited to:

active database systems

complex objects

complexity and optimization

concurrency control and recovery

data models and design theory

data structures-algorithms for databases

database programming languages

deductive databases and logic

dependencies and constraints

distributed and parallel databases

fundamentals of security and privacy

heterogeneous databases

incomplete information

multimedia information systems

nonmonotonic reasoning

object-oriented databases

query evaluation and optimization

query languages

spatial and temporal data

transaction management

updates

Submissions:
Authors are invited to submit 8 copies of a full conference paper (which might
be an extended abstract where proofs are only sketched) of about 5000 words
(10 typed pages in no less than 11-point font) by June 13, 1996, to one of the
program co-chairs:

The cover page of each paper should contain the address, e-mail, fax and phone
numbers of the contacting author, as well as a short abstract. The results
presented in the paper must be unpublished and not submitted for publication
elsewhere, including the proceedings of other conferences or workshops. One
author of each accepted paper will be expected to present the paper at the
conference. As in the past, it is planned that the proceedings of ICDT'97 will
be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science
series, and will be available at the conference.
